At 3Dwork we&#8217;ve used it in our daily testing for years, and in this guide we cover <strong>everything you need to know<\/strong>: from download to sending your first file to the printer, including every parameter that actually matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is CHITUBOX?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CHITUBOX is a <strong>slicer built specifically for resin printers<\/strong> (SLA, MSLA and DLP). A slicer does one thing: converts your 3D model into layers the printer can execute, generating the file that controls each UV exposure layer by layer. Without it, the printer has nothing to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike FDM slicers like Cura or PrusaSlicer, CHITUBOX is designed for the specific challenges of resin printing: generating supports that hold without ruining the part, detecting floating islands before a print fails, controlling FEP film peel-off and tuning exposure times that make the difference between a perfect part and a disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-box stk-block-icon-box stk-block stk-514838f\" data-v=\"2\" data-block-id=\"514838f\"><style>.stk-514838f {padding-top:0px !important;padding-right:0px !important;padding-bottom:0px !important;padding-left:0px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-514838f .stk-block-icon-box__content{padding-top:16px !important;padding-right:16px !important;padding-bottom:16px !important;padding-left:16px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-block-icon-box__content stk-container stk-514838f-container stk-hover-parent\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-label stk-block-icon-label stk-block stk-36dc56b\" data-block-id=\"36dc56b\"><style>.stk-36dc56b {margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon stk-block-icon has-text-align-left stk-block stk-c850b4b\" data-block-id=\"c850b4b\"><style>.stk-c850b4b .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child,.stk-c850b4b .stk--svg-wrapper .stk--inner-svg svg:last-child :is(g,path,rect,polygon,ellipse){fill:#0693e3 !important;}<\/style><span class=\"stk--svg-wrapper\"><div class=\"stk--inner-svg\"><svg style=\"height:0;width:0\"><defs><linearGradient id=\"linear-gradient-c850b4b\" x1=\"0\" x2=\"100%\" y1=\"0\" y2=\"0\"><stop offset=\"0%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-c-850-b-4-b-color-1)\"><\/stop><stop offset=\"100%\" style=\"stop-opacity:1;stop-color:var(--linear-gradient-c-850-b-4-b-color-2)\"><\/stop><\/linearGradient><\/defs><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\"><path d=\"M256 8C119.043 8 8 119.083 8 256c0 136.997 111.043 248 248 248s248-111.003 248-248C504 119.083 392.957 8 256 8zm0 110c23.196 0 42 18.804 42 42s-18.804 42-42 42-42-18.804-42-42 18.804-42 42-42zm56 254c0 6.627-5.373 12-12 12h-88c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h12v-64h-12c-6.627 0-12-5.373-12-12v-24c0-6.627 5.373-12 12-12h64c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v100h12c6.627 0 12 5.373 12 12v24z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-e1ec97a\" data-block-id=\"e1ec97a\"><p class=\"stk-block-heading__text\"><strong>The industry standard<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-34d1413\" data-block-id=\"34d1413\"><style>.stk-34d1413 {border-top-left-radius:0px !important;border-top-right-radius:0px !important;border-bottom-right-radius:0px !important;border-bottom-left-radius:0px !important;overflow:hidden !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">CHITUBOX supports <strong>over 200 printer models<\/strong> from Anycubic, Elegoo, Creality, Phrozen, NOVA3D, Voxelab, Flashforge and many more.
